[Plugin: bbPress] BBPress fails when Facebook 'like' plugin is working

Just noticed this the other day, im using the latest version of WordPress with Simple Facebook Connect plugin and BBPress. When SFC or the majority of Facebook ‘Like’ plugins are running along side BBPress, BBPress stops working properly.

The problem is other plugins hijacking the custom post types and not returning proper results on filtered values. You’ll want to contact the author of the other plugins and have them test their code with bbPress, and anything that uses custom post types.

Updated bbPress to Beta 3, still no compatibility. I posted up a comment on Otto’s site for the plugin, and added the tags for his plugin to this thread. I’d love to get the 2 playing together nicely. I’m really likeing bbPress, and have gotten pretty used to using SFC, so it’d be ideal to have them cohabitate

So as soon as I enabled the SFC Like module the forum’s stop working, just a blank page with the forum title on it. Its definitely something to do with the SFC Like plugin because as I mentioned I have other Like Plugin’s working along side the forum but SFC is by far the best i’ve found so far.

Yeah, dunno. Maybe it was one of the changes I put in today, but I can’t make it happen.

I have my test site running with bbPress (and the twentyten child theme) and the new SFC and the Like button (and the Share button) both activated and showing up on the Posts and Pages, and everything seems to work fine. Like button shows up on posts/pages (but not topics/forums and such). The forums show up, sub-forums show up, topics show up, replies show up.. Even the FB meta stuff in the header is correct with the forum and topic views.

Nothing wrong with it that I can see. Make sure you’re running both the latest bbPress and SFC.

Version 0.25 of SFC will be the last one that uses the old Connect libraries, and if it’s not working with bbPress then I’m not surprised. That version will very likely stop working in September when FB removes some older functionality.

The latest one in development is version 0.999, which is just the prequel to version 1.0. I’m currently actively developing it and adding the features and such it needs to be a good replacement. It uses the newer Graph API and Javascript SDK’s from Facebook. You can find a working, but incomplete and probably buggy, version of it here:
